JEP 541: Deprecate the macOS/x64 Port for Removal
Summary
OpenJDK JEP 541 proposes deprecating the macOS/x64 port with removal intended in a future release to reduce maintenance costs as Apple moves to ARM64. The document details how building on macOS/x64 will fail unless --enable-deprecated-ports is used, and notes that the port will be disabled by default in GitHub Actions. It also explains alternatives and potential reversion paths if a community wants to maintain the port.
